 * Comment. Article is about a professor of pharmacognosy (New word for me, too.) - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. It is customary for deletion nominators to explain the reasons why they don't consider subjects to be notable rather than bark out orders to other editors. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:46, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * 'Comment' - First of all this is not a hot headed discussion. When a page remains as a not notable for a long time, there might be some problems with the page itself or the way how it is being administered. Whatever the case it may be, it is time to study the notability and keep/delete the page as appropriately. I have expressed my feelings on thia page. Someone might have written this page without realizing what could end up to such pages. Battu's work in his fielddoes not make him notable, nor his Ph.D from the US. He was a principal of a college in Karnataka. There are hundreds of colleges in Karnataka. Yet, that may not be enough to be considered for notability. Let us have a fresh look on this page and keep it as necessary by removing flag "he is not notable". Thanks. 0ukieu (talk) 23:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment He had hardly 3 to 4 publications in the field of applied science. That is too far less. 0ukieu (talk) 23:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, weakly. He appears as co-author on a number of papers in the automated Google Scholar and Books searches, but they do not appear to be widely referenced. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 04:20, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think Google scholar is likely the best way to measure his impact in his subject and time frame, but I can't find any other evidence of notability or nontrivial coverage of him in Google news archive and Google books. And with no nontrivial coverage of him in sources we can use, even if we had reason to believe him to be notable (which I'm not seeing), there's nothing we can verifiably say about him. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:38, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
